En kalkun 1865

"En kalkun" (A Turkey) is a pencil sketch on paper by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard, dating back to 1865. This small-scale work, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Skovgaard's talent for capturing fleeting moments through a simple yet expressive style. The drawing depicts a single figure, possibly a man in a suit, with a distinct, stylized form and loose, gestural lines. Skovgaard's use of graphite creates a sense of movement and dynamism, hinting at the potential for further development into a more finished composition.
